xmx250 Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Okay i've noticed a very annoying problem for me with the D3. I have all my favorite FM stations preset. Its perfectly fine to scroll through them with the radio screen showing. All i have to do is touch the "touchscreen" above the approriate station button. The thing is when i have the map showing. i cant find a way to navigate through my presets... if i touch the forward and back buttond on the plastic face of the D3 it only scrolls to the next station. For example when i touch forward it will go from 105.1 to 105.3 etc.......... why doesnt it go to the next preset?? did pioneer really think users would want to scroll stations when viewing the map?? wouldnt everyone rather scroll through their presets when viewing the map screen. This is really annoying me since i hate going from the map screen to the radio screen just to get to my next preset?? Is anyone else annoyed by this? is there any way to fix this????

chazmink Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 The preset problem is an annoying one. I get around it by using steering wheel controls and the PAC SWI-PS. I remember reading that there was a Pioneer remote that would work but I don't remember the model number. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradleyJ Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Any Pioneer remote that has up/down and left/right buttons should work. I use left/right to tune, and up/down to browse presets. Maybe consider a remote. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DougB541 Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Yeah I have a steering wheel remote and the DVD remote...up and down change presets for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe consider a remote. I'm using SR11 and up/down buttons can browse presets. source button can switch mode from FM-iPOD-AV1-AV2 etc... pretty convenient. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
King Hummer Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Wow! FM Radio?...Why dont you just go get a 8-Track? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xmx250 Posted April 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 So are alot of you using wireless remotes to control your D3's I have stock steering wheel controls but i dont know how to hook up the SWI-PS. it seems a little confusing........ if i were to buy a remote, where is a good place to stash it so can control my radio while driving?
